The sun shone in southern Finland too this afternoon. I actually like rain, but there has been a little too much recently. And it should be snow!

You can't be me, I'm taken

I've no interest in a future trip outside the tropics, but I would welcome an interesting conversation with someone from Finland. Without the internet, I myself would feel rather disconnected that far North. http://redlineav.com/indexlexia5.html

Thanks to a poster above, I checked out the Au Pairs. I forwarded their videos to my girlfriend who figured I had gone loopey. But, seeing these posted here reminded me of the UK, where anything goes on the typical public radio channel. Plus their songs transcend the stillborne rules of punk.

As to music, there is very little hope for Americans abroad. The exceptions being jazz and blues artists at large in Europe. My family runs the #1 music venue here: http://juanitas.com

But, that doesn't mean I like the music there. And, since i'm 54, I really get annoyed by the trouble it takes to scour through the entire web to find any hot artists I can stand. My friend Nico, (#1- 9/11, NYC pundit) takes to this research unbelievably well. He turned me on to John Peel, a lamentable discovery at that!

I mentioned Hillary as a veritable teen. Bill wasn't even Governer yet.

In France they make beautiful love. Here, they call it 'reality TV.'

havn't seen the sky for days, the river has overtopped its banks for several days,    and it's going to rain again tomorrow.

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.
